RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Ben,

I fly in Arizona where the air temp alone is 100+ degrees. I fly my WH E540 on Omega 5% with approx. 4% more oil (castor/synth blend). No baffling and my exhaust outlet seems smaller...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

You will destroy the wonderful flying capabilities of this airplane with that heavy engine. My Edge 540 has an OS 160FX and tips the scales at 11.5 lbs (dry). Goes vertical as long as I want it to...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Is that CF gear on your edge? Doesn't look like the standard gear that comes with this beauty - got a CF wing tube too? So it's 11.7 lbs. with the CF gear?

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Get yourself a circle template and draw the smallest circle (use a sharpie) on the cowl that includes the current hole and centers the glow plug. Then grab your Dremel and grind the new opening. It...

Ben:

If you go to the Wild Hare RC site you can download the construction manual for the 28% Edge 540 under the “download” section. With the exception of some minor differences (control...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

My solution was to cut ¼ “ thick piece of aircraft ply about 5/16” wide, gluing with epoxy and pinning it with 1/8” dowel rod to the top of the engine box, flush with the face of the firewall....

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Here are few more pictures of my completed OS 160FX installation. As you can see the 160 and Bisson pitts muffler fit entirely in the cowl. I ended up rotating the engine about 10-15 degrees from...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Ben:

Tom provides CF pushrod material in the kit and used to reinforce 4-40 all-thread rod. If you want to spend some extra money, order only the 4-40 titanium rod ends.

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

This last set of photos shows the surgery to the DB motor mount. Notice that the mounting holes fell in the center of the arms. The screws used to mount the engine are 8-32 SH cap crews 1" long...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Now I have slipped off the cowl leaving the engine on the mount, showing where the mount ended up on the firewall. The motor mount top left mounting hole is close, but with a 8-32 t-nut it should...

I have never uploaded photos to this site so if there is better way then let me know. This first picture is the 160FX resting on the engine box with the cowl mouted on the airplane the engine...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Silversurfer:
The DB mount will fit the OS 160FX if you do some careful trimming of the mounting arm inner surfaces. It only takes about 1/16" from each arm. I would think that this had to be...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

Anyone actually mount an OS 160FX to this bird? Which mount did you use? Seems to me that the Dave Brown 120FS that comes in the hardware kit will require some serious grinding to accept the 160FX....
